The pain of hauling way to much gear in and pooping in the woods was more than worth it for the opportunity to visit this amazing place. Sitting at Mirror Lake and watching the sunset on Lone Eagle Peak was an unbelievable experience, We sat there thinking that it just couldn’t be really. At any moment the curtain was going to drop and it was all going to be over. it’s times like these that make you feel alive, make you understand, make you realize it’s not just about you, it’s about us, the planet that we share and that maybe one day everything will work itself out.

Colorado Adventure

These are long over do but here a some photos I took while on vacation in Colorado last July.

Ever since this Colorado trip I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the American west. This happens every time I travel west, or any direction really. I immediately fall in love with the city, landscape, culture etc. and have an immense itch to get the hell outta St. Louis. Anyway here are the photos and a few things we learned.

  1. 90 degree Colorado weather and hammocks are 100 times better than STL weather and hammocks
  2. The Rockies will never get the pitching needed to bring that city a championship
  3. Princess Yum Yum is delicious and I am now forever a fan of Denver Beer Co.
  4. Always audible and hike 8 miles to a random alpine lake in a National Forest
  5. Bring your fly rod on every hike…there will be fish
  6. Mountain meadows & waterfalls make for the best lunch spots
  7. Bourbon is the best reward after climbing waterfalls
  8. Work for a Fort Collins brewery is the ultimate career
  9. If there is a burrito with green chili on the menu, you order it.
  10. I will soon be a proud owner of a Subaru
  11. Finally never give Sam a knife…he will cut himself
